Tiny Baller

This prototype was created in 4 non-consecutive days for the September 2025 Week Sauce game jam. However, due to time mismanagement, it is being uploaded now.

This was the only month I went off-theme, and my goal was to create a tiny basketball minigame that I could later use in a larger project. What ended up happening instead was that I spent mostly the entire project struggling with physics. Though it was quite simple to make a ball follow a trajectory line, I found it much more challenging to accomplish all of the following at the same time: allow the player to pick up the ball and hold it securely at a given spot; allow the player to shoot the ball; allow the ball to continue to collide with objects after being shot so that it can be picked up and shot again. You will notice that after shooting the ball, it simply falls through the ground.
